And I'm curious how they will deal with BW1 since Vol.43 is a mixture the unknown amount of HGSS and BW......

They'll likely just split the chapters. For example, if there's only one chapter of HGSS, they could put that chapter at the end of their Vol. 42 (or HGSS Vol. 3?) and have the remainder of Vol. 43 be BW Vol. 1. Sort of like what they did with GSC and RS.

We wouldn't be able to see the cover of Viz's Vol. 15 if it wasn't 100% going to happen. Well, technically it could still be cancelled, so I'll say 97% until I physically hold Vol. 15 in my hand.

I have found here and Simon & Schuster labeled the illustrator as Mato with RS. They should labeled Yamamoto, Satoshi......

*puts on nerd glasses* What we have here is a typical case of a web application programmer assuming that every comic series is going to have a single illustrator throughout the entire run. They probably don't have the ability to change the illustrator without introducing a whole new series. "Pokemon: Black and White" is considered an entirely new series to the system and thus properly credits Yamamoto. Simon & Schuster should have had Vol. 10+ be a different series in the system, or at the very least properly credited both Mato and Yamamoto for the entire run. *takes off nerd glasses*

I'm surprised that they left vol. 15's cover pretty much unchanged. As there's no part of the GSC arc in the volume, why would they keep the past characters on the cover? It's probably just Viz being lazy, but it still makes me wonder.

The websites still don't show the covers? Well that's alright. At this point I can't see them not putting out these volumes. Still really excited to collect these volumes. It feels like I've been waiting for ages to collect the RS and FRLG arcs and stuff them between my GSC and DPPt volumes. At last a dream of Platinum fan's will be come true. Given the Length of HGSS those volumes will probably be the first to finish, even before DPPt's end.

Yeah about HGSS... does anyone know if we'll have parts of RS/FRLG/E spoiled by any characters or events in HGSS since we'll be seeing it first?

The only thing that I can think of that will definitely spoil some parts of the 3rd Gen arcs will be Sird's whole backstory in final volume of the DP arc/first volume of the Platinum arc.

Besides, I kinda get a feeling that we will be getting volume 41 for the HGSS Vol 1 since it's going to technicaly the same case as DPPt volume 1 and volume 30. Though what makes me wonder is if our BW volume 1 will be either volume 43 with the HGSS chapters taking out or something like France's publication of the BW arc.

Amazon says 192 pages for Viz's version and 208 for the Japanese version. So I guess Viz could have taken out the end of HGSS if it can be finished in a single 16 page chapter. From what I can tell, all of Viz's full volumes are identical to the Japanese ones except with a couple of chapters moved around so that arcs don't run into a separate line of books.
